The Howling Heart's Forgiveness Chapter 8.3
Chapter 8.3The door to my office slams open and Caspian storms in, plunking himself into the chair in front of my desk and pulling me away from my thoughts of Brynlee and that day a week ago. I was shocked that he was here, figuring we would only talk if it were about his Beta training.“I thought we weren’t on speaking terms?” I ask as I watch my friend runs a hand through his hair. I can feel the anger and hurt radiating off of him and I have a feeling what might have happened to make him choose to come to my office.“We aren’t. But this is the only place my parents won’t bother me.” He answers back, pulling out his phone. I say nothing, knowing the situation Caspian is in with his parents and how they are trying to force him into claiming some random she-wolf as a Mate instead of allowing him to search for her himself. Its an argument that I have witnessed myself many times since he turned eighteen. At one point Caspian had confided in me that he hoped Brynlee would be his Mate to

Chapter 9Parking my truck beside Gale’s, Lunette and I climb out of the vehicle just as the others were exiting Gale’s. Its been three days since I contacted Caspian. Three days filled with my best friend constantly checking up on me and sending me many memes he finds on the internet that leaves me laughing for a good moment.Between rest stops, I would have Lunette sit in her dad’s truck while I had some alone time talking to Caspian. Other times she would be in the back seat of my truck chatting with the both of us, the eight year old happy to be included. She even told Caspian that she is taking me from him as her new big sister, which caused us to laugh and Caspian stating he will be her new big brother. The look of disgust Lunette had when he said this had me laughing so hard I had to pull over, especially because the eight year old replied savagely that she doesn’t need or want another older brother considering she has two already.Unfortunately for me, it was during one of our

Chapter 10Watching Tanya flitter about the functions room chattering with our guests, I sigh and slam back the whisky I was sipping on. Ten days has passed since Brynlee left. Ten days of yelling at Tanya every time she snapped at a pack member for doing their job. At one point I thought she was flirting with a Warrior that was just getting off of patrol, but my father talked some sense into me. Or so he thinks.What he doesn’t know is since that day, I have been keeping tabs on Tanya, recording her every move and even snuck a few hidden cameras into her room. I have yet to collect any evidence against her as I have been busy cleaning up her mess and a surprise visit from Onix Moon’s future Alpha, Viren Bestial, two days ago left me unable to see just what Tanya has been up to.“Your future Luna seems like the social butterfly type.” Viren comments as he comes to stand beside me.“She is, unfortunately for me.” I grumble out, not caring about portraying the love sick fool I have had

Chapter 11.1Turning onto a hidden gravel path, I follow behind Gale’s trailer as we hit the final stretch of our ten day journey. Lunette had decided that she wanted to ride with her family when we left the Diner and I was thankful for that. The three hours of alone time helped me to get my thoughts sorted and prepare me for any trials Alpha Stanton may throw my way during the probation period before I am initiated into the pack. Once I am a full fledge member of Golden Fang, I will request at least a weeks time to deal with the pain of rejection and banishment properly before starting my Beta training with the Beta couple Albert and Marrisol.Rolling my windows down to allow fresh air into the cabin of my truck, my nose twitches as I scent smoke and blood on the wind. Sensing something wrong, I immediately dial Gale’s number, the music I had playing through Bluetooth being replaced by the dial tone.“Bryn-”“Gale something is wrong!” I state, cutting off his greeting as I take anoth

Chapter 11.2Looking down at the clipboard in my hand, I sigh and close my eyes. It has been two hours since we agreed to help Golden Fang and I am already feeling the toll of what was left from the attack. When we arrived at the pack - the structure thankfully only having minimal damages from the attack house - and met with an Omega that thankfully gathered clipboard and pens for us, Miss Asteria gathered the able bodied wolves with the help of Quincy and asked for a report of damages, wounded and the deceased. Sadly, we were met with hostilities until Quincy vouched for us, stating that Alpha Stanton was the one to invite us to join the pack and that we were here to help now. The three wolves that had followed us to our trucks also vouched for us, telling them that we are no threat. The crowd soon settled down and the information we needed was given to us one by one.It was clear that only the bare minimum had been done and that these wolves needed some sort of leadership to help ge

Chapter 12The door to my office is thrown open, the back of it hitting the wall and startling me from my work. Caspian gives me an apologetic grimace as he carefully closes the door before making his way towards my desk. I groan, getting annoyed with my friend and his un-welcomed visits.“Could you just link me next time you want to come talk.” I state with annoyance as he plops himself in the arm chair directly across from me.“Yeah, but that won’t be fun for me.” Caspian chuckles out.Ever since our talk in my office three days ago, our friendship has started to mend. He has helped me to keep Paisley, Scarlet and Ashley in line when they try to harm a pack member under Tanya’s order. He has also helped me with keeping an eye on Tanya when I can’t and has reported back to me on the terror she is causing within the pack.Yesterday Tanya decided to claw an Omega named Hillery because she did not help clean Tanya’s room. This Omega is one tasked with doing the accounting for our variou

Chapter 13The sudden sounds of “Monster” from Epic: The Musical blares from my phone, scaring me awake to the point I roll of the bed. Letting out a long sigh, I push myself off the floor and glare at my cellphone. I had stayed up late into the night with the Golden Fang wolves as we watched the pyre burn. Once all the flames had died down, I helped collect the ashes that we buried into the earth under the large willow tree just outside of the pack house. By the time everything was done, it was well past midnight and I hobbled my way into an empty bedroom on the third floor of the pack house, claiming it as my temporary space. Miss Asteria had sent Gale with two of my suit cases just before I fell asleep from exhaustion, telling me to call if I need them.Now that the sun light filters into the room through the dingy windows, I realize this place could use a good cleaning. Noticing that I am still in the clothes from last night, I lug my suitcases onto my bed and search through them

Chapter 14Standing at the Library doors looking inside the sparkling room, I find myself smiling despite my exhaustion. The last seven and a half hours had been tiresome from taking down all the dusty curtains and vacuuming up the dust to cleaning the tables we used to organize the freshly cleaned books to moving furniture around. The windows now sparkled and I was delighted to have learned that the wolves who were cleaning the rest of the first floor had come to an agreement of sending four wolves to clean the windows on the outside.“So, we really will have community computers in here for the pack to use?” Ash asks in excitement and I nod.“Some wolves don’t have computers at home so having at least ten to be used here will give everyone access to the internet for home-work, research and finding jobs in the towns and cities outside of the pack that will benefit us.” I answer, running a hand through my blond hair and grimacing at the grungy feel. Cleaning had left me covered in dust

Suppressing the snarl rising inside me, I glare at the incompetent Omega that has just spilled my soup. She mumbles out apologies after apologies to me as she quickly moves to clean the spill with the paper towel on my table and kneels beside the chair I am sitting on.“Guards!” I call out, my words ending in the snarl that escapes my lips.“Have this stupid bitch punished for ruining my meal. I am carrying the future Alpha of this Pack and this Omega can’t even feed me properly.” I continue. The Dining Hall goes quiet at this, all eyes on me as two men step forward and drag the Omega away. She is kicking and sobbing, begging for forgiveness while two others step forward, bow to me, and continue cleaning the mess before disappearing. My stomach growls in hunger and I snarl in frustration. How dare these idiots keep me from eating!“My love, what has you so upset?” Looking up from the table, I find Valor making his way to me. His greying black hair slicked back and his eyes focused onl

Watching the bus pull in front of the Pack House flanked by our Warriors, I groan as Quincy fidgets beside me. Ever since lunch, he has been on edge, even having to end his patrol early because he could not focus and nearly fell into a ditch. Had someone not been there to stop him in his tracks, Quincy would have been seriously injured. His attitude has me believing that Rune is right and that maybe Quincy has been given a Second Chance Mate.The bus doors open and Gale is the first to step out. He makes a beeline for Asteria who stands to the side, scooping her into his arms and smiling. It’s been just over a week since he set out with Jett and the others to get the Willow Bark wolves, they must have missed each other.Jett is the next to step out of the bus, helping the others off one by one and telling them to stand just to the right so that we can get them all settled. I knew Jett said that the majority of the refugees had been pups, but I did not expect to see so many between the

Watching the scenery pass by, I listen to the pups behind me excitedly chat about our soon-to-be new Pack and what type of wolves we will be meeting. Gale and my Uncle have told us a lot about Crescent Phoenix and the one thing that has caught my attention is the Beta, Brynlee. She is the youngest Beta so far in the werewolf world. She is also the Goddess-given Mate of my enemy’s son.“We should be there within the hour.” A voice calls out from behind me, making me jump in my seat. Turning away from the window and the endless forest view, I find Ashton taking a seat beside me, his easygoing smile I have gotten used to making me roll my eyes. Even though we aren’t Mates, that hasn’t stopped this wolf from flirting with me, much to my Uncle’s warnings.“Sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you.” He apologizes.“It’s fine. I am just lost in thought.” I reply, letting out a sigh.“Something has me on edge and I can’t put my finger on it.” I admit, getting a hum from Ashton.“Could it be you are

Sitting in my office, hand on my stomach, I read the reports sent to Asteria and me from the Council early this morning for the third time and sigh. The investigation into Jonnah, Valor, and Tanya has taken a turn that surprises even me and I am not sure how I feel about it. Tanya is indeed pregnant and that the father of Tanya’s child is indeed Valor but that’s not the worst of the news. The worst part is about how Jonnah is on his fifth Mate after killing his fourth – the she-wolf that rejected Quincy.Gale had called stating he couldn’t get a hold of Asteria and wanted to let me know they were a few hours away from the Pack. That’s when I mentioned the email and news of Jonnah Cross being on his fifth Mate. He was pissed, to say the least, but gave me the good news that the Willow Bark Wolves have decided to talk with our Council Representative to help put the nail in our enemies' coffins quickly.This made the weight from the news weighing me down lighten up and after hanging up,

Sitting in the hospital room with Rune holding my hand, I nervously fidget with his fingers. Right now, we are waiting for Jasmin to finish with a patient so we can do an Ultrasound and find out how far along I am with my pregnancy. Rune silently watches me, concern in his eyes as he pulls his hand out of mine and pulls me closer to his side.“Everything is going to be fine Brynlee.” Rune reassures me, giving me a gentle smile.“So just relax and take a deep breath.” Closing my eyes, I do what he says and take a deep breath, breathing in his scent and feeling my nerves settle slightly. Over the last three days, Rune and I have grown closer as we worked side by side in preparing the pack for more construction.He would come to my office after his morning duties as a Warrior and after lunch, we would go over the map of Crescent Phoenix land and work on finding the perfect locations for new homes and dormitories for our constantly growing pack. Once we found the perfect locations, Rune w

Waiving at Brynlee as she drives away, I head into the Pack House in search of the Library she mentioned. I had not explored the Pack House being too busy with training and learning the patrol routes, so I felt lost inside this large building.“Can I help you, hun?” Turning to the sound of a friendly voice, I find a woman with soft blue-green eyes and strawberry blonde hair tied into a braid down her back in hopes of keeping the mess of curls tamed. She carries a stack of books in her arms as she watches me with a curious glance.“Yes actually.” I answer feeling relieved.“I am looking for the pack library and the woman who runs it, Alayne.” I continue explaining, watching a smirk spread across this she-wolf’s face.“Well, I can help you with both.” She responds, shifting the books so that they rest in her left arm while holding out her right hand.“Alayne Arctic at your service.” Shocked to find this unassuming she-wolf being the woman I am looking for, I shake her hand and realize th

Looking at the empty field that will be perfect for building new houses for new families and Mates looking to transition out of the dormitories and into their own homes, I sneak a peak at Rune as he leans against the front of my truck, a sketchbook in his hands. Right now, Rune is working on a basic sketch for three houses that will be built here come spring in hopes of having them ready for winter next year.“I never knew you could draw.” I muse, watching him jump in surprise before a blush of embarrassment creeps along his cheeks. After lunch, he and I had taken my truck out to drive around the territory, making note of the new land we received from Onix Moon a few weeks ago and finding a few good spots along the stretch of land where we could begin building more dorm buildings and houses families and newly mated pairs could move into. This is how we found ourselves relaxing in the warm fall sun when Rune brought a sketchbook out of the backpack he brought along on our ride.“To be

Glaring at the email before me, I suppress the growl threatening to spill. Our council representative has been hard at work investigating Valor, Tanya, and Jonnah to the point they have begun questioning the destruction of smaller Packs surrounding Blood Claws and Pine Moon. What is worse is that other than Willow Bark, no other survivors have been found from any of these smaller Packs that were destroyed. For all the Council knows, they have either become Rogues hiding deep in the forests in wolf territory or blending with Humans in the many cities.One thing is for sure, Jonnah and Valor have committed more crimes than we originally thought.Reading further along the email, my eyes widen and my hand instinctively reaches for my stomach. Judging by the images attached to the email and the medical report the Council’s spies were able to obtain, it seems that I am not the only one expecting a pup. Now the question is, whose is it?“Brynlee, are you in here?” The door to my office opens
The Howling Heart's Forgiveness Chapter 86
Watching Brynlee drive away, I wait for her truck to disappear from my view before deciding to head to my dorm room for the night and get some much-needed rest. Today has been an eventful day that has left me reeling with exhaustion. I had just finished patrol when a sudden urge of danger coursed through me. At first, I thought the warning was because Rogues had crossed our borders into the pack territory, threatening the pack. When I realized it was an internal warning from the Mate Bond, my wolf instincts took over and I rushed directly towards the danger warning without thinking. All I could think of was protecting Brynlee.’I knew I was being irrational when I barged into the training facility without warning. I knew how much of a prick I was when I swept Brynlee into my arms and carried her away from everyone without her consent, but my body kept moving on its own. I felt like a man possessed but until I knew Brynlee was safe in her den – in her cottage – I couldn’t relax.As soon
